He breathes
and she smells
smoke
Dead man
walking
It happens
too much
now
These
vignettes
from
another time
A word
a passing comment
It’s going to be a scorcher today
And she’s off
lost to her
imagination
in all its surreal
darkness
and sometimes
light
Yesterday
the sun
was shining
She wasted
that day
in sickness
Today was
gray
lost
in time
Too much
time
searching
for blue skies
Blue sky thinking?
And she’s off
Like stepping
off a cliff
and landing
in the deep
blue sea
She knows
the sea
moves in waves
takes in water
until she is full
again
And walking
and listening
for his breathing
again
